A member asked:
Is chronic urticaria a mast cell disease?
14 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Urticaria: Urticaria, a clinically distressing disorder, is dermal oedema resulting from vascular dilatation and leakage of fluid into surrounding tissue, often in response to histamine (and other mediators) released from mast cells. A clear history of events surrounding the onset, together with laboratory investigations, in some cases allows us to find a cause and eliminate it.

Yes.: Mast cells are the source of histamine and other biologically active mediators that trigger hives.
